I think that the color that you posted is not the original color of the car. It is in the same family. I don't know about the rarity because I personally have seen three or four of them here. The original color of this was very flat with not much gloss or depth to the paint. It was one of those M&M's colors seemingly out of the Ford grabber color thinking of the time. Maybe I should call it a "Mod" color?
I should point out that the Ford Lime Green is one of these colors too. Originally very flat, with no depth to it.
When redone in a two stage it comes to life and is actually a very pretty color.
